Product description
Sweet flavour, rust tolerant
A 'sugary enhanced' variety of fast growing, long sweet cobs with good tolerance of common rust which helps to keep plants healthy, particularly in wet summers.
Sow indoors, March-May. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow, 1.5cm (?") deep, in pots of compost. Keep warm and moist. A temperature of 15-20?C (60-68?F) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out, May-June, into well-cultivated, fertile soil, when frosts are over. Plant in blocks and allow 40cm (16"), both ways, between plants, disturbing roots as little as possible.
Or, sow outdoors, during May, 1.5cm (?") deep, two seeds together at 40cm (16") intervals in block formation. Sowings may benefit from cloche protection if temperatures drop. Thin to the stronger seedling when large enough to handle. Harvest: August-September.
